The school is proud of its outstanding record in sport, having been finalists in county championships in athletics, High 5, cross country running, cricket, hockey and football for girls and boys. Teams are entered in the Newark football leagues, in regular competitions, cricket matches, athletics, rounders and hockey tournaments.
We aim to provide children with a wide range of physical activities where they are taught all the skills for a range of games. Frequently – as part of our extracurricular provision - coaches are invited to provide an initial experience of a new sport or to deliver an after-school course. The full range of physical pursuits available within the year includes football, netball/High Five, O.A.A, tag-rugby, hockey, cricket, rounders, swimming, athletics and tennis.
Children receive twice weekly periods of physical education and all are expected to participate unless there is a medical reason for not doing so. In addition to the previously mentioned games’ activities, all pupils take part in gymnastics and dance. Swimming lessons take place during Years 3 and 4.
Mr Luetkemeier is our Physical Education Subject Leader.
